Currently Looking For
Jynastie Wilson (she/they) is an Assistant Literary Agent at The LCS Literary Agency where she started off as a Literary Intern. When she’s not agenting, you can find her playing video games with her partner, reading a queer novel, or journaling. PICTURE BOOKS Jynastie is currently very selective with picture books. She’s mainly looking to represent author-illustrators, but they’re willing to take a look at any queries or text dummies from authors. If your picture book is heartwarming with a BIPOC focus, like EYES THAT KISS IN THE CORNERS and PALETERO MAN, or if it takes inspiration from the imagination of children, like DRAGONBOY or PETE THE CAT, then feel free to send it their way. GRAPHIC NOVELS Jynastie is open to graphic novels in all subgenres for both middle grade and young adult audiences. Though, at this moment in time, they are only looking for author-illustrators or illustrators. They are looking for both soft, slice-of-life fantasy and emotionally complex contemporary. For the first, think the television shows ADVENTURE TIME and AMPHIBIA or the graphic novels MOONCAKES and LIGHTFALL. And for the latter, think of the graphic novels FRIZZY, ROLLER GIRL, SUNNY SIDE UP, and BLOOM. She would love to see more uncommon family dynamics and living situations, SQUISHED, and chronic illnesses, GHOSTS, represented. MIDDLE GRADE Jynastie is open to middle grade novels in all subgenres, except for non-fiction. As a child that grew up wishing more characters in books looked like them, they will always prioritize authors that happen to be bipoc, queer, or disabled. They want to help foster a love for reading in every kid meaning that they would love to take on manuscripts that could work as standalones, but also have series potential. Middle grade horror is on the rise again, and they couldn’t be happier! They want everything supernatural – it doesn’t matter if it’s more lighthearted or spooky, please send it over. They would like to represent books that show the realities of life – meaning blended families, immigrant parents, and things not always going as expected. Think FRONT DESK and MEXIKID. She would be interested in representing a couple of books that feature age appropriate first crushes, kisses, and plenty of awkward moments. Children of color deserve their own FLIPPED. They also deserve to be awkward and still feel good about themselves. More FOUR EYES and JAWBREAKER. She would like to stay more on the magical realism side of things when it comes to middle grade fantasy, but she’d love to take a look at the retellings of bipoc myths, legends, and folklore. If you have any stories about friend or family groups working together to break curses, fight monsters, and be there for another, send them her way as well. Children are never alone. One of her biggest wish list items in this age range is a survival story. When she was a kid, she found it fascinating to read about other kids who ended up having to survive in the wilderness and make their
